If he can incur criminal liability as a result of his statements (i.e., 1 M.S.C. § 1501 "Contempt of court," which you are threatening him with if he does not answer), then he has the right to be heard through legal counsel

and if so, how (if it exists), he could have found out about it?:
Richo
Richo 2024-11-27 08:32 p.m.
The question was clarified multiple times, I just need his final answer regarding whether he plans to stick with his answer that no one informed him of a sealed warrant and he just saw it in game OR if he was informed by someone regarding his search warrant.

Richo 2024-11-27 08:39 p.m.
1. Were you informed of the sealed search warrant?

2. If so, who informed you?

This will be a yes or no to the 1st question @vv

The game provides him with a big notification in the bottom left of his screen that does not go away, not to mention this is the first time you have brought up awareness by notification. To ask if he was informed of a red notification that takes up 10% of his screen is trivial.

Your Honor is going all over the place: first, you ask who was informed; second, you bring up being notified in game; and third, you edit your question to tackle on another question.

I ask that Your Honor provide a clear, final, and unambiguous question for my client to answer; otherwise, he cannot be held in contempt. See United States v. Fleischman, 339 U.S. 349, 371 n.7 (1950) (“Certainly before one may be punished for contempt for violating a court order, the terms of such order should be clear and specific, and leave no doubt or uncertainty in the minds of those to whom it is addressed.”) (citing McFarland v. United States, 295 F. 648, 650).

In line with the screenshot that my lawyer sent, I got a notification of a search warrant saying that I am expected to expose my inventories to law enforcement. The answer is trivial since the game mechanic gave me a notification—I was informed by a game mechanic, so yes.

It is not a question of "who," but of "what." The notification (a game mechanic) informed me, as evident by the screenshot sent by my lawyer.

Your Honor, your question seems very inquisitorial in nature—are you going to take different courses of action on my client depending on thier response? It feels like you are leaning towards punishing my client for an answer you already know. This is, to my knowledge, the first time in this Court's history that someone has been sworn in by the same judicial officer that issued their search warrant. It just seems very out of the ordinary and a response to this would help clear up some confusion that my client has.
